Boon A saint can craft or commission a good-aligned magical item for the PCs at a 20% discount, arrange an audience with a good-aligned NPC of any level, or obtain a response to a single question to her deity as if using a commune spell.
A saint is the embodiment of the crusader ideal. A saint might head a crusader temple or order or could be matriarch of her own religious tradition. A saint usually keeps a priest and holy warrior as advisors (CR 12), or a saint with a squad of four holy warriors might accompany a king (CR 15).
